Data on TSB levels obtained within 2 hours of a TcB measurement were also abstracted. TcB \u2013 TSB differences and correlations between the values were determined. Data on demographic information for individual newborns and TcB screening practices for each nursery were also collected. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify characteristics independently associated with the TcB \u2013 TSB difference.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Data on 8319 TcB measurements were collected at 27 nursery sites; 925 TSB levels were matched to a TcB value. The mean TcB \u2013 TSB difference was 0.84 \u00b1 1.78 mg\/dL, and the correlation between paired measurements was 0.78. In the multivariate analysis, TcB \u2013 TSB differences were 0.67 mg\/dL higher in African-American newborns than in neonates of other races (P &amp;lt; .001). The TcB \u2013 TSB difference also varied significantly based on brand of TcB meter used and hour of age of the infant. For 2.2% of paired measurements, the TcB measurement underestimated the TSB level by \u22653 mg\/dL.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>During routine clinical care, TcB measurement provided a reasonable estimate of TSB levels in healthy newborns.
